Mercy College About Us


Mercy College, Palakkad, is a Government-Aided Women’s Arts and Science institution affiliated with the University of Calicut. Established in 1964 as the realization of the vision of St. Chavara Kuriakose Elias and Fr. Leopold Beccaro. The college was created to meet the pressing need for women’s education in Palakkad, which at the time had very limited facilities. A group of seven Carmelite sisters from St. Mary’s College, Trichur, undertook the mission of securing land and resources to establish the institution. With sanction from the University of Kerala on 24 June 1964, the college began functioning on 1 July in a temporary building and was formally inaugurated by Bishop Dr. G.C. Allapat of Trichur. By 1967, it had attained first-grade status with five undergraduate courses, and in 1968, it became affiliated with the newly formed University of Calicut.

The college is managed by the Carmelite sisters of Jai Christo CMC Educational Agency under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Palakkad. Mercy College has grown into a premier postgraduate institution for women initially under the Corporate Management of CMC Educational Agency, Thrissur until 1987. The college has consistently worked to empower women through quality, value-based education. Over the past 62 years, it has risen to prominence, earning reaccreditation with an ‘A’ grade in the IV Cycle by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council. Today, Mercy College stands as a beacon of academic excellence and social commitment, dedicated to nurturing women for service to God and humanity.
